Руководство По Проектированию для Cisco Cisco Aironet 350 Mini-PCI Wireless LAN Client Adapter

All 802.11 authentication and association processing occurs at the H-REAP, regardless of which 
operational mode the AP is in. When in Connected mode, the H-REAP forwards all 
association/authentication information to the WLC. When in Standalone mode, the AP cannot notify the 
WLC of such events, which is why WLANs that make use of central authentication/switching methods 
are unavailable. 

 

 
The hybrid-REAP access point maintains client connectivity for local switched WLANs after entering 
standalone mode. However, after the access point re-establishes a connection with the WLC, it 
disassociates all existing clients, applies updated configuration information from the WLC (if 
applicable), and re-allows client connectivity.

With its expanded capabilities, the H-REAP AP offers greater flexibility in how it can be deployed, such 
as:

Branch Wireless Connectivity

Branch Guest Access

Public WLAN Hotspot

The primary goal of REAP and H-REAP is to address the wireless connectivity needs in branch 
locations, permitting wireless user traffic to be terminated locally rather than be tunneled across the 
WAN to a central WLC.

Because H-REAP can map individual WLANs to specific 802.1Q VLANs, branch locations can more 
effectively implement segmentation, access control, and QoS policies on a per-WLAN basis. See
